DECEMBER 21, 2003

All good things must come to an end...
Sorry to inform you all of this, but I'm shutting down the Castle. I'll keep the page up, but there will be no more updates unless someone is willing to take over.
If you're willing to assume the responsibility for updating the Castle, send me an email. Here are my criteria:
1. Must have a good knowledge of HTML coding
2. Must have another webpage that has been open for at least a year
3. Must agree to keep my name on the Castle as creator, and must provide me with a password to the webpage if you decide to change it. This is just incase the person proves to be untrustworthy.
4. Must be trustworthy!
I hope someone will step forward, but until then, please don't send me submissions.
Thank you all for continuing to support the Castle. You made it worth me updating it, and I was thrilled at the turnout. Thank you for making this webpage such a success!

AUGUST 6, 2003

I hate to do it again, but submissions are no longer being accepted. There's something wrong with the forms and not all of it is being sent.
If anyone has sent a senshi since the beginning of August, I did not receive the complete bio. You'll have to wait until the submissions form reopens to send your senshi to me again.
To top all this off, I'm waaaaay behind on getting senshi into the Castle, and my two helpers seem to have disappeared......

JUNE 7, 2003

I did some updating today! Four new senshi! If you submitted a senshi a long time ago and it's still not up, please be patient! My partner in crime, Sabrin, is going through a lot of stuff right now and hasn't had time to help with the upkeep.
Speaking of upkeep, just so all of you know, I won't be sending out emails telling you whether or not your senshi is in the Castle unless something is wrong with the profile. It's up to you to check here (the updates page) to see if he/she is posted. There are just too many senshi for me to keep doing this.
Please welcome: Sailor Platinum, Sailor Eternity, and Urban Gentleman to the Hall of Invented Senshi. Also welcome to the Solarium, Sailor Sun Healer!

JUNE 3, 2003

Today I graduated from university! I have a degree, Honours Bachelors of Arts in Classical Studies! Yay!
Onto business: The submission page is back on. I know I haven't updated the senshi yet. I haven't heard from Sabrin in a while, so I'm sure she's busy. I'll try to keep up since school is done now. I do have a job, but I should be able to do both (I hope!)
To Hiei_Lina, who contacted me through my fanfic feedback page, please feel free to draw anything you like from the fanart wishlist! I'm very very happy to have to you so! You will need a scanner and an email address to send the drawing to me, but I will post it on my site with full credit to you. If you decide your fanfic is good enough for the Castle, please submit it as well! If anyone else would like to draw fanart of any of my senshi, please do so!

MAY 7, 2003

More senshi are on their way, so please be patient! Once we have this last batch up, I'll reopen the submission site for new senshi. Sabrin and I are both very busy and haven't had time to update.
Speaking of busy, I'm currently in the process of moving and job hunting. Not easy! If anyone out there lives in London, Ontario, and would like to give me a job, feel free to email me! :)
One final note: I was so busy with exams, I missed the Castle's one year anniversary!!! Thanks to everyone for making this webpage a success! Hopefully we'll be around for many more years!

APRIL 15, 2003

I'm in the middle of exam season right now, so I apologize if updates are even further apart then usual. Of course, if I procrastinate like I'm doing right now, there may be more updates than usual!
For those of you waiting to submit your senshi, please be patient. Sabrin and I are still sorting through the backlog.
Please welcome Sailor Outer Star by Sakura Sage to the Planetarium, and Sailor Lunar Dream by Anastasia Crystal to the Moonstardark room of the Tower.

MARCH 31, 2003

Well, instead of writing my essay, I decided to do some much needed housekeeping instead. We've got a few new senshi and even a new villain to welcome to the Caslte!
New to the Hall: Sailor Neo Eden by Saline Dreamer, Sailor Wing by SailorCaptain Tsukiou, Sailor Magician Thundara by Magica Tskia, and Sailor Panasonic by Keesa Jones.
New to the Planetarium: Sailor Star by Sakura Sage
New to the Dungeon: Maxine Nicodemus by the Universal Guardian
New Fanfiction: Chapter Two of Moni's ongoing fanfiction is ready to be read. Sorry about the long delay!
That's it for now. Give a big hand to Sabrin for all her help! Thanks Sabrin! You rock!

MARCH 27, 2003

Hi! Just to let you all know that Nightwing is no longer to be trusted by any Sailor Moon fan. He has no courtesy and is playing people for fools. He is bannd from this and all my webpages and has been removed from the Castle permanently.
Please welcome Sabring as my new assistant. She'll be helping me with the backlog of uploads that I need to get done. I've known her for a while and I'm sure I can trust her. I was always iffy about Nightwing.
So you all know, ignore any messages you may receive from Nightwing. He is untrustworthy.
Updates coming soon! I promise, and unlike others, you know you can trust me!

FEBRUARY 9, 2003

Prince Nightwing has been busy! We've got four new senshi in the Castle. Please welcome in the Solarium Sailor Aphrodite by Anika. In the Terrarium, we've got Sailor Hera and Sailor Aries by Lucy, and Sailor Feinir by Alexandra Carter!
Chapter Four of Lady Firelove's series is finally up. Sorry about the long, long delay!
More coming very soon!

FEBRUARY 7, 2003

Prince Nightwing has got the first of the senshi he'll be doing up and running. It's his own character Nightwing and it's in the tower under Moonstardark. Please check it out!
Since this site takes so much work, I'm starting him off slowly, one senshi at a time until he's got the hang of it. Please be patient, larger updates will be coming!

Due to popular demand and some help from a friend of mine, the Castle will be updated very soon. Once we've got the backlog of submissions out of the way, I'll open up the online form again!
Huge thanks to Nightwing for volunteering to help. Hopefully, the Castle will get a new layout soon too (a Christmas gift from Sailor Hotshot!)
Stay tuned!

JANUARY 13, 2003

I've always feared this day would come. I've had to shut down the Castle temporarily. I won't be accepting any more senshi until further notice.
I hate to do it since this is such a popular site, but I just don't have enough free time to keep up with the amount of senshi I'm getting. School is killing me right now, and I barely have time to check email.
I'm looking for someone to help share the load. I'm afraid it has to be someone I've e-mailed before because I don't want to trust my site to just anyone. If you have enough free time to help me maintain the Castle, please let me know.
Until I get some time or help, the Castle doors must regretfully close.

DECEMBER 12, 2002

Another massive update! *whew!* At this rate, the Castle will be up to 200 senshi in no time!!!!
Please welcome: Sailor Capricorn; Sailor Dark Magician; Sailor Earth by Stacy; Sailor Sapphire by Sailor Peridot; Sailor Charon; Sailor Cloud by Lady Firelove and Sir Cloud; Sailor Deadmoon; Sailor Elysion; Sailor Iris; Sailor Mau; Sailor Mini Mercury; Sailor Mini Outermoon; Sailor Mirage by Sailor Peridot; Sailor Phoenix by Chaos; Sailor Solar; Sailor Sprite; Sailor Evensong and Sailor Matinns!
Everyone have a good holiday! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

DECEMBER 9, 2002

***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***
If you have a senshi in the Castle and she is from a star or draws her powers from a star, please e-mail me and tell me which senshi it is so I can move her to the new Plantarium!

DECEMBER 8, 2002

The old, decrepit Tower has been restored and is nearly ready for new senshi to move in to! There will soon be a Planetarium of Star Senshi in the Tower as well as senshi featured in the RPG Moonstardark!
Once my final essay is done, I'll have a bunch of new senshi for the Castle and the Tower as well as reorganizing the existing senshi into the proper areas.

NOVEMBER 25, 2002

Sailor Nemesis by Felicia has moved out of the Castle. We're sorry to see her go.

NOVEMBER 24, 2002

Please welcome Sailor Mini Venus by Brianna, and Chapter Three of Lady Firelove's story!

NOVEMBER 23, 2002

All righty. I finished my homework a bit early and so I decided to do that massive update I've been warning you all about!
NEW FANFIC: Lady Firelove has her chapter 2 posted and Moni has chapter 1 up at the FWWW part of the castle.
Now for the new senshi. I'm proud to say I've added 22 new senshi this time, which brings the grand total of rooms here at the Castle up to 113!!!
Please welcome Sailor Angel, Sailor Alpha, Sailor Aurora, Sailor Cancer by Tammi, Sailor Coelus, Sailor Crescent Moon, Sailor Dusk, three Sailor Earths by Brianna, Lady Firelove, and Kimu, Sailor Eiko, Sailor Eos, Sailor MiniMars, Sailor Moon by Brianna, Sailor Naloo, Sailor Phoebe, Sailor Siren, Sailor Solaris, Sailor Starfyre, and Sailor Vulcan
Incidently, I've created a Terrarium of Earth Senshi for all the Sailor Earths and deleted the fanart page that no one was using.
*Whew!* That's it for updates. Please check out all the new senshi and thanks for keeping this Castle a successful Otaku senshi page!

NOVEMBER 7, 2002

Since I'm procrastinating, I put up Sailor Janus by yours truly. I also updated the Sailor Minos since I made the two of them more closely tied. Hope you'll check it out.
The other senshi should be up by December, or late November. Whenever I need to procrastinate again! It'll be a HUGE update too!

NOVEMBER 4, 2002

Hello! I have a whole bunch of new senshi eagerly awaiting their rooms. Unfortunately, I also have quite a few midterm tests, essays, and assignments due this month. So, to make a sad story short, no more updates until closer to the end of November.
Keep sending me your senshi, though! I'm so happy at how well the online form is working. Please make sure you have your email address correctly typed so I can get in touch with you!

Anyway, Chapter One of Sabrin's Sailor Moon: E series is up and running. Please check it out and e-mail her comments!
Secondly, I've posted yet another of my senshi. Sailor Mirage's profile is now up and running on the senshi page. Yet another of Kami's many incarnations...

AUGUST 22, 2002

Sailor Darkness and Sailor Flame have pictures now. Also, I created a new senshi called Sailor Minos who doesn't have a story. If you would like her to be in your Sailormoon fanfiction, please e-mail me for permission. I would like to write her dialogue for the story!

AUGUST 20, 2002

The authors of Sailor Angelmoon and Sailor Jackal have sent me pictures! Please check them out!
More updates coming soon since my summer courses are now over!!!
Speaking of updates, two new senshi to the Castle! Please welcome Sailor Darkness and Sailor Flame! I would like to remind people who have senshi here to please link from your page to mine. Thanks!

The numbers are growing! What should I do to celebrate 100 senshi???

AUGUST 15, 2002

I managed to get Sailor Mini Mercury by SuperSailorMercury19 and the villain Grendel by the Universal Guardian into the Castle. I also now have an about the author page, incase anyone is curious about me :)
More to come after my exams!

AUGUST 11, 2002

Just to let you all know I'm still alive. I've been super busy with my summer courses, so I haven't had time to update my site. If you've submitted a senshi via the on-line form, I have received it but haven't had time to put it here. I'm about four or five senshi behind. Sorry, but I need to put school before pleasure!

JULY 28, 2002

Could Sailor Cookie, who submitted Sailor Chibi Sun and didn't leave her e-mail address, please email me? I would like to talk to you before I post your senshi here. Thanks!
On another note, I'm going to make some new linking banners using some of the senshi pictures submitted to me. If you're completely opposed to me using a picture of your senshi, please let me know!
One more thing: New senshi will be appearing very shortly. I just need to finish an essay and study for a midterm (stupid summer courses....)

JULY 22, 2002

Sailor Nebula's picture is now up in her room. Please go and see it!
I've added a new page, which is a wish list of mine for fanart. If you like to draw and you're looking for something to do, please go read that page!

JULY 21, 2002

Welcoming five new senshi to their rooms at the Castle!
Hellow to Sailor ColdFire, Sailor Earth, Sailor Frodo, Sailor Nebula, and Sailor Outer Moon!
I'm toying with the idea of adding another wing to the Castle, namely one for fanartists who want to draw. It'll be kinda like a Wanted Ads page with fanartist emails. Anyway, let me know what people think of this idea
One last thought: I'm almost at 100 senshi at the Castle. In honour of this momentous occasion, I would like to do something special. Again, I'm looking for ideas!

JULY 12, 2002

Two more senshi are at home at the Castle!
A warm welcome to Sailor Miracle by Jessica Conley and to Sailor Diamond by Micah!

JULY 10, 2002

A couple of things. First off, I'm doing some summer courses, so I don't have a lot of internet time until the end of August, then I start normal school, so things are looking bleak. Still, I'll keep this up as much as possible!
Next thing: You can now submit a senshi online! This way, I get all the information I need right away and no one is confused as to what information to send!
One more thing. There's a fanart page up now. If you want to submit a picture of your senshi other than the one on the profile, you can! Yay!
Updates now. Four new senshi, created by Ani are up. Welcoming Sailor FireAngel, Sailor WaterAngel, Sailor LightAngel, and Dark Knight Angel. One new senshi by Universal Guardian called Sailor Sol also up. Yet another senshi by Jessica Conley called Sailor Destiny is also here!
Also, my good friend Sabrin has allowed me to put her fanfiction up. Please go read the prologue to her exciting fanfiction series. The rest will come soon!

JUNE 23, 2002

Big news! Big update! First off, Hollie has sent me Chapter Four of her Ivory Tears series, and SuperSailorMercury19 has sent in the rest of Season One of her Lake of Mercury series. Please check them out!
Hollie has also submitted her villain Sailor Mau to the dungeon. I've updated the profile of Sailor Mini Saturn as well. And, to top it all off, I've given English names to my created senshi, just in case anyone who uses the dub wants them to guest star in a fanfic series :)

JUNE 20, 2002

I've put in a Fanart Gallery! Any and all submissions (except hentai) are welcome. You don't have to submit a created senshi either, any senshi will do!

JUNE 10, 2002

A major move-in today! Welcoming 7 new senshi and 1 new villain! A huge hello to Sailor Cloud, Sailor Pacific, and Sailor Phoenix by Kierah, and Sailor Earth and Twilight Knight by Sabrin as well as the villainous King Silos by Sabrin, and also Sailor Hades by Sara and Sailor Nova by Universal Guardian! *whew!* I'm exhausted from moving all that luggage!

MAY 22, 2002

Three more episodes from The Lake of Mercury fanfic. Read and enjoy!
I'm starting an update mailing list for all my sites. Please go to the main page to sign up. Note that you only have to sign up once, not on each of my pages. Thanks!

Welcoming Sailors Nova and Blackhole and Sailor Mini Saturn to the Castle. Also the senshi count has reached 30 senshi today. Thank you all!
Remember you can submit sprite forms of your senshi to put on the main page next to your senshi's link. I can also put special tile backgrounds on your senshi's page. Anything to make your senshi feel more at home in her new room. ;)
